| Hello all. Can anyone give me insight how I can change the connection settings to connect to a different database, or where those settings are stored so that I may make a batch file to switch to whatever store we would want to connect to? My manager wants to be able to edit certain settings for each store, and instead of me always having to change the database settings in RMS Admin, I would just like to create a batch file that would change the properties automatically. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

The db connection settings are kept in system registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\Server\Database
(or, on 64-bit Windows Vista-7 machines:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\Server\Database
The problem is though since RMS 2.0 SP2 those have been encrypted, as mandated by the PCI-DSS standards. So then, you still have to use RMS Administrator at least to set those settings for the first time. After that you can try to export the registry key and import it on the target machine using regedit. |

| Which is probably why doing a registry search for one of the settings did not come up with anything. lol. Thanks for the support mixer! |
